Meetings

Thank you to Connie for bringing poems to us periodically. Here is the poem she brought this morning.

It was our (Barrie and Wendy) second Sunday back, and one or two who were unable to join us last week were back today. How wonderful to see Michelle and Mark, and Billy and Wendy again. They each were going through challenging times, but it did not prevent them singing praises to our God, and help fill the room with …

How good to meet together again, after our 5 week absence. We all wanted to know what others had been experiencing – for Wendy and me, our  time in Fiji and New Zealand, and for the rest of the church, the meetings, words, Bible studies, prayer meetings, and times of fun together socially.  But there were more important matters for us. …

The meeting started with notices, notices – but what a joy to announce that while we are absent, there is a programme to move the fellowship forward. A big Thank you to Michelle for heading up arrangements in our absence. There will be Sunday morning meetings in 2 venues, at Rackheath and Catfield, and a Thursday afternoon prayer meeting and …

For me personally (Barrie), it’s been a quite amazing week. Michelle and Mark, and Shirlene, and Cliff and Sue all communicated their desire to continue the meetings, and move the fellowship forward, during our forthcoming absence. As soon as word got round, Bob and Connie offered their home for midweek meetings, and Shirlene offered her home fort Sundays. Count us …

Yet again, we anticipated few attending, due to sickness, and yet… It is difficult to express or describe the sense of the presence of God coming down amongst us, but it is AWESOME. Following a time of praise and worship, Barry H led communion. There was a short time of silence as we waited on God, broken by a loud …

It’s January and it’s winter! Ailments had beset some of our number – Covid recovery, painful neck and nasty cold, twisted knee – and yet the room was reasonably full. So those present prayed for those absent. We also had specific things to praise the Lord for; Billy and Wendy had at last had an offer on a house accepted, …

Whether it’s a public holiday, birthday, Christmas, high day or holy day, it’s good to meet for praise and worship. In fact, to meet with our God.  It was 1st January – a new year. Sadly, two of our number had tested positive for Covid, and were quite ill. Billy had severe neck pain, and Billy and Wendy’s offer on …

It was Christmas Day! We said we would meet, with family leading our time together. What joy – Bob and Connie came. Fiona led on keyboard, Cameron, Mollie and Jessica and the rest of us did readings, and after the carols, Fiona led communion. A fabulous time. The next meeting is next Sunday morning (New Year’s Day). *********************** Marcus Philpott …

The Liberty year is ending on a high! However, we praise the Lord continually, whether we experience highs or lows. The room was full, with usual chatter and laughter. Cliff and Sue were not the first to arrive for once – Coltishall bridge was closed, so detours for those from the east. And Shirlene and daughter Sam, kindly chauffeured by …
